Haven't updated this for a while so here comes a whole bunch of posts in a row!

An initial prototype of the enclosure has been printed. Whilst everything works fine with the enclosure, I'm not sure that it is ideal for actual use, it seems quite bulky, and the hinge would likely not be strong enough for actual use. Possible changes to the design would be to remove the centre section, and have one side contain the PCB and the other side the battery. Will look into this over the next few weeks, however I have limited time before the project is due to be completed and since most of my marks will be for the electrical and software design it will be a lower priority.
